night run up Devils canyon. a newly reopened for stagecoach trail.
2-3 well built jeeps on 35's can probably knock it out in about 1.5-2 hours but the potential for alot of harder stuff is their. we started the trail at 10pm and would have been off by 1am but the exo rig busted a tierod and steering box. it took a while to fix then limp him of the trail. the trail is within a 10-15 min hike of interstate 8 west bound lanes. even with a well built rig, is highly likely that you will scrap body at one point or another. my rims are trashed. but its a hell of a trail and a hell of alot of fun.

do have more info on how to get to the trail head, it looks interesting.
 
I had a blast!
Following the buggy was fun, that critter has the most articulation I have ever seen on a Jeep. And yes, it was over the top, too much, making it hard to hold a line.
The weather was perfect and the company great.
I want to do this one again soon.
Thanks Ryan for planning this one and inviting me!

about 15 min past the golden acorn casino. it took me an hour and a half to get home to encinitas at 6am. figure about an hour east of san diego.
the end of the trail is the mountain springs exit which is just past the desert watch tower aka inkopa exit. the begining of the trail is about 3-4 miles north on the S2 from the town of Ocotillo.
